Enlightenment







Every once in a while, I get a desperate urge to take apart my closet in search of items I have not used in a while. I am sure everyone of you have found that one vest, dress, or skirt that you bought on a whim yet never found the right time to wear it. If you are like me, you could have also hung several things on top of it, due to the lack of space/hangers, and let it endure a slow and miserable death. Or, went on an even better shopping spree that put that one item on the back burner. I tell you this because this is exactly the case with the maxi skirt I am sporting up top. When I bought it, I mightily convinced my mother it was the perfect purchase. I had ten different ways to wear it in my mind already so it would be money well spent. Little did I know that 2 years would go by before I would find the right time to wear it. I am not proud of it, I am aware what $25 to spend means to others but I guess it is one of those things you need an enlighting moment to wake you up.
As I move to the next step in my  life, I have made it a priority, no, better yet, a rule, to make sure this never happens again. I will theorize on ways to do so, considering my continued lack of space, this will be a a bit more complicated than exprected. But as Tony Robbins once said so insightfully, "if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten," and that is a pile of unused clothes out of season.  So... challenged accepted!

Head turner

















Here is an edgy outfit for a weekend outing. Nothing like some black lace to cause some serious head turning!

Let me just clarify that unfortunately I was prevented from wearing this outfit because the birthday girl who was hosting the party wanted the attention to stay on her. I can't say I don't understand her... I guess an ensemble like this can cause some severe neck pain, or not??

New Year's Outfit: Check!







I opted out of sequins. After Christmas in Panama I had a severe overdose of sequins in every shape and form so as I looked for an outfit that was still sparkly without need of sequined or bejeweled skirts and dresses, I found a glittery trouser for a steal at Urban Outfitters that will definitely do the trick. Not to mention, a cute rhinestone headband to receive the New Year with some glitz on my head. I'll share the New Years resolution tomorrow. For now, I need to head out before I miss the bus... oh what would life be if I only had a car.... :)
